Episode Description: As we journey through  Hebrews 11 , we're moving through a lineage of faith stretching from the beginning of the Scriptures. Our first few lessons highlighted the foundation of faith: that it involves a forward-looking trust in God's unseen promises. We started with Abel, whose sacrificial faith still speaks. Then Enoch walked with God, showing that faith is a relationship, no...

Episode Description: What does it mean to have faith? Faith is not merely a mental acknowledgment but a deep-seated confidence and trust in God's promises. This trust propels us forward, guiding our decisions and shaping our lives. We may not feel like "biblical heroes," but our lives as Christians join the Scripture's larger narrative of faith. Everyday faithfulness contributes significantly to G...

We are all familiar with the frustration of waiting. I think about how much I get frustrated with waiting, whether in traffic, in line for food, or when waiting for news. Today, in our culture, we are trained to expect instant results. We want things now. But what happens when we need to wait and trust God?

Barnabas, for instance, is referred to as an apostle in ( Acts 14:4 ). Music provided by Eric Gwin. Visit ericgwin.com Links: Episode notes Ephesians Series Support SimplyRevised Email Updates

In this series, we are asking: "Why do we do what we do?"
